The Beauty of Art and Food at a Bay Area Festival

Posted on by jonildaf

2019 Tampa Riverwalk Food and Art Festival Produced By: Jonilda Francois

This year’s Tampa Riverwalk Food and Art Festival was held in the bay area. Many people came to the event to see certain jewelry, sculptures, foods, food booths, and of course… Art! “Being able to provide and share a beautiful environment, for the public community at this venue, involving such talented vendors that both, have started with me years ago,  as well as meeting many new faces and talent!” Said Wendy Harding, Market Coordinator for Your Tampa Markets via email.

The event was held under Your Tampa Markets on Saturday, May 11, 2019, at Water Works Park in Tampa, FL (near Blake High School and Armature Works). It started at 10 am – 7 pm, with many vendors and booths to share many talented and local business owners in the community. 

“I started in 2012 on Harbour Island, as a vendor, at a local waterfront restaurant with one table, and selling jewelry. It grew from 1 to 68 vendors over time. Since then, I have coordinated Fresh Markets at the Port of Tampa’s Channelside and Downtown Tampa, Artwalks, Food Truck events, leased Artisan Kiosks & mall markets,” said Harding. 

It was a hot and sunny Saturday afternoon, on May 11, 2019. People from the Tampa Bay Area were very thrilled and fascinated about seeing the Tampa Riverwalk Food and Art Festival event. There were tunes played by a local artist and musician, cultural and homemade foods, arts and crafts, and cute shops, just in time for Mother’s Day.

According to Harding, she is planning to do the event again next year and may not relocate. “I think we already outgrew this one, but I like consistency, and right now, I don’t see changing what works.
